Team v bro's (what a team)

[dragonfire]

if Prior has got glandular fever he will be out for a while, might be the season as it can take a while to recover from it

 

[W.B.2.S.O.S]

Looks like Prior won't be playing. Brett Morris lets the cat out of the bag in this interview...

On Chase Stanley going to the storm:
"Has that been announced?". Well if it wasnt already confirmed, he may have confirmed it.

 

[Coppo_ForeverYOUNG]

Stanley, Green and priddis to drop off the bench, Bennett wouldn't have named smith for no reason.

 

[Jersey No 14]

This is very encouraging.
A good solid hit out against the warriors.
Yes, at home they grow a extra leg so a solid 80 minutes
of disciplined football will leave us in good stet to face
the Storm next weekend.

I look at our run home and there's a few wannabes on that list (Which is good)
They'll all want a piece of us - even if they can't make the finals.
toughen us up as we face all comers

I'm kinda worried about the storm game....we're gonna have to lose sometime and that appears the most likely one we will lose.

Btw the douches in today's Telecrap have predicted the Dogs to take out the minor premiership and go undefeated. Dean "Bulldog" Ritchie (need I say more, look at the nickname) predicts they'll finish on 42 and us on 40 -meaning we will lose two more.

 

[W.B.2.S.O.S]

Has anyone ever finished on 42?

 

[Godz Illa]

Melbourne 44 in 07 & 06
Roosters & Dogs 42 in 04
Parra 42 in 01

 

[MattYg1]

ohh what great insight by Ritchie... opinion based rubbish...
If anything the dogs are more likely to drop the ball later in the season...

not saying anything against Kevin Moore as a coach he is going great but first year finals in the big leagues, with expectations like that i wonder how he will go under pressure...

:lol::lol: Let them keep looking into their crystal ball. At the end of the day, they can have the "minor" premiership - I am happy with 2nd for the "minor" and 1st for the big one!! Nobody remembers the minor premiers. The real glory is in lifting the trophy on the 4th Oct!

Couple of articles in the NZ press that make amiable arvo reading

Let them have the minor one- and we can have the actual one! If they win the minor premiership, knowing how idiotic some of their fans can be, they will consider that the premiership and not the achievement of the actual GF winners as the premiership. :lol: FMD these Bulldog folk are delusional.

The Storm will not get near Saints next Fridy at Kogarah. People are still judging them on past deeds, which is fair enough, much like they are judging Saints on past deeds and that we will choke, which is also fair enough. But the Storm era is over, regardless whether Smith plays or not.

A new era is dawning. Have faith.

 

[ForestDragon]

We have no one to fear, the storm will know that past glories count for nothing aaginst these Dragons.

 

[big pat]

can't see why we have to fear any team.

 

[grandorient]

Exactly Big Pat, exactly, nothing really to fear from any of the other 15, including the possible final 4, Doggies, Storm and Manly.

On the day, on current form and current coaching, we are a superior side. So the differences will be injury, refereeing and the luck of the bounce of the ball. These things we have some control over, but not absolute. We may well be superior to these other 3, but it is only marginal and if one or a combination of the three has a hand in it, then it may well be "the better team lost".

But this is footy and it happens. What we won't see is a repeat of the debacle's of say West Tigers a few years ago or the semi at Brookvale last year. We are a much better coached, stronger willed and cohesive team than the past.

GO

 

[SuperSoward]

ok, so whats the go with the times. I'm confused.

What time is the kick off?

Can I watch it live?

SS

 

[W.B.2.S.O.S]

Kick off is 4pm local time.... which is 2pm in sydney

 

[WonderBoyd]

I was wondering if it was going to be a hard game, but with that lineup the game should be a walkover.

 

[_Johnsy]

Amen to that brother.

You see, when you wear this you have nothing to fear.

 

[Drew-Sta]

What was the final line up for the game? I tuned in 2 min before kick off.
